Artificial Intelligence Lets Donald Trump Sing About Obama

In artificial intelligence research, everyone is talking about style transfer. It takes traits from one piece of art, like the brushstrokes of a painting, and applies it to another image. It’s the software behind the popular photo app Prisma, and Twitter bots like the now-defunct DeepForger. The same idea can be applied to music, and WowTune VR has made a technology that uses sound processing and machine learning to turn speech into singing. And like any good breakthrough in 2016, they applied it to Donald Trump. (To be fair, he actually sounds pretty good.) [CreativeAI]
